Quote by Neil Gaiman
CHOW^TM contained spun, plaited, and woven protein molecules, capped and coded, carefully designed to be ignored by even the most ravenous digestive tract enzymes; no-cal sweeteners; mineral oils replacing vegetable oils; fibrous materials, colorings, and flavorings. The end result was a foodstuff almost indistinguishable from any other except for two things. Firstly, the price, which was slightly higher, and secondly, the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman.
Summary
This quote describes a food product called CHOW^TM that is designed to be overlooked by digestive enzymes and is made up of manipulated protein molecules, artificial sweeteners, mineral oils, fibers, colors, and flavors. Although it looks like regular food, it stands out due to its higher price and extremely low nutritional value, comparable to a Sony Walkman (portable music player). The quote suggests that CHOW^TM prioritizes market appeal and cost efficiency over providing adequate nutrition.
